I have ridden my mountain bike up in that area many times but to be honest I have never ice fished it before. I do know that is it a shallow lake, 10-15 fow, and that it has bass, panfish and pickerel. I really would not bother making the trip to ice fish there. There are so many other lakes I would fish over desolation. I would make the trip if you had a housing. You could easily drive a few short miles over to The Great Sacandaga. That might be worth the trip. Hope that helps.
